Labubu-maker Pop Mart's shares extend slide as Morgan Stanley removes it from China focus list

BEIJING — Shares in Pop Mart, the Chinese toy company behind the recent Labubu craze, continued to tumble Friday, after Morgan Stanley removed the stock from a focus list. Pop Mart's Hong Kong-listed shares were last down more than 5%, extending their slide from the previous session when they had slumped 5.3%. That's put the high-flying stock on track for its first negative week since early May — with losses of more than 13% so far. Its year-to-date gains stand at over 160%. Morgan Stanley said in a note late Wednesday it was replacing Pop Mart with insurance company PICC P&C in the firm's China and Hong Kong focus list. The investment bank did not elaborate on why it removed Pop Mart shares. The firm on June 10 had raised its price target on the toy company to 302 Hong Kong dollars ($38.47), up from 224 HKD, on expectations that Pop Mart still had room to grow in the long term. "We think the market has fully factored in Pop Mart's exponential growth in 2025 but may not have strong conviction on the long-term outlook," equity analyst Dustin Wei and a team said in the June 10 report. "That said, in view of its lofty valuation, we do not expect this level of outperformance to continue in the next few quarters," the report said. Pop Mart shares hit a record intra-day high of 283.40 HKD on June 12. The Beijing-based toy company has rapidly expanded overseas with online sales platforms and physical stores, including in the U.S. and U.K. Pop Mart first gained popularity with its "blind box" concept, in which consumers buy unmarked boxes — which can cost from about $5 to $10 each — for a chance at getting a unique figurine and building a collection. In the last few months, the company's "Labubu" series of toys featuring an elf-like character have become a global phenomenon, even drawing the attention of fashion and culture-focused New York Magazine and The New York Times. Pop Mart has also released Labubu stuffed toys, pillows and related merchandise to capture demand. A 4-foot-tall Labubu sold for the equivalent of $170,000 at an auction in Beijing earlier this month. Many of the more affordable versions of the figurine subsequently went out of stock in mainland China. "We've seen certain trends like that before ... There seems to always be some cute thing that people have to have," Jacob Cooke, co-founder and CEO of WPIC Marketing + Technologies, told CNBC on Friday. The company helps foreign brands — such as Vitamix and iS Clinical — sell online in China and other parts of Asia. He pointed to interest last year in capybara stuffed toys. Chinese retailer Miniso, which also has stores in the U.S. and other countries, was one of the main sellers of the stuffed animal. Cooke saw Pop Mart as "more lucky than anything," although he pointed out it reflects growing interest in toys not just for children but also adults. Indicating the soaring popularity of its toys, Pop Mart's overseas sales in 2024 have already surpassed the company's overall sales in 2021. The company reported total sales, primarily domestic, of 4.49 billion yuan ($624.6 million) in 2021. In 2024, overseas sales alone surpassed that to hit 5.1 billion yuan, up 373% from a year ago, while mainland China sales climbed to 7.97 billion yuan.

These 6 rocket explosions show how SpaceX likes to roll

The upper-stage of SpaceX's next-generation Starship rocket exploded in a massive fireball at its Starbase facility near Boca Chica, Texas, on Wednesday night. No one was hurt in the incident. The vehicle was being prepared for the 10th flight test of the most powerful rocket in the world, which also includes the first-stage Super Heavy booster. Recommended Videos The dramatic explosion highlights SpaceX's bold, iterative approach to rocket testing that views anomalies as a learning opportunity rather than an outright failure. Instead of relying solely on simulations or lengthy design reviews, the spaceflight company — founded by Elon Musk in 2002 — prefers to rapidly build and test rocket parts, using gathered data to refine future designs. The approach means that spectacular events like the one involving the Starship on Wednesday are to be expected. SpaceX's controversial approach is designed to accelerate development by uncovering complex issues early on. It's important to note that almost all of the tests are uncrewed and designed to minimize risk while maximizing insight to push a project forward. In stark contrast, NASA prioritizes safety and reliability, while also considering potential political challenges, especially after past disasters like those involving the Space Shuttle Challenger and Columbia. The different approach means that NASA's development cycles are slower and more cautious, with strict oversight and procurement rules that make rapid iteration difficult. Unlike SpaceX, the U.S. space agency doesn't aim to move fast or mass-produce rockets, instead focusing on things like long-term research and human safety. Critics have argued that SpaceX's so-called 'fail fast, learn faster' approach poses risks to both safety and the environment, especially when testing near populated areas or delicate ecosystems. Some worry that moving so fast could also put workers at risk and make it harder for regulators to ensure safety. Whether you like its approach or not, SpaceX seems intent on continuing as usual, learning what it can when it all goes wrong. Below are six videos demonstrating just how SpaceX likes to roll … Starship, 2025 First up, the spectacular explosion that destroyed a Starship rocket on June 18, 2025. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk described the incident as 'just a scratch.' Falcon 9, 2016 The Falcon 9 rocket is now SpaceX's workhorse vehicle, carrying out almost all of its missions to orbit, including crewed flights to and from the International Space Station. But it wasn't always so reliable. This incident happened during a routine static-fire test of the Falcon 9 rocket, which was preparing to launch a communications satellite. Starship, 2021 In high-altitude testing of the upper-stage Starship spacecraft, the vehicle reached an altitude of about 6.2 miles (10 km). But after successfully performing several planned maneuvers during its six-minute entirely solo flight, the vehicle didn't slow down enough and failed to achieve the correct orientation for landing. Falcon 9, 2015 This Falcon 9 rocket exploded about two minutes after liftoff from Cape Canaveral, Florida, destroying a Dragon cargo ship bound for the space station. The failure was put down to a faulty steel strut in the liquid oxygen tank that broke under stress, causing a helium vessel to break free and rupture the tank. Starship, 2023 During the Starship's first-ever integrated flight test in April 2023, the rocket experienced multiple engine failures and ultimately lost control, leading to its intentional destruction before reaching orbit. Prior to launch, Musk had tempered expectations by saying the 120-meter-tall rocket only had a 50% chance of reaching orbit. Falcon 9, 2015 A key part of SpaceX's spaceflight system is the ability to reuse rockets, which means landing them back on Earth after carrying a crew or payload to orbit. While it's now perfected the maneuver with the Falcon 9's first-stage booster, there were a lot of failures in the early days. Here's one of them. A compilation of SpaceX rocket disasters In 2017, Elon Musk posted a compilation video showing numerous SpaceX rocket disasters as its engineers continued to develop the technology.

Chris Richards bails out USMNT at both ends in win over Saudi Arabia

AUSTIN — Chris Richards is on the field for the U.S. men's national soccer team because of his defensive aptitude, and in the first half of a sluggish Concacaf Gold Cup match against Saudi Arabia on Thursday, the 25-year-old center back executed a magnificent rescue. If that had been the extent of Richards's notable contributions, Coach Mauricio Pochettino would have been satisfied. But the Premier League-based Alabaman also found his way into winning the Group D affair, getting on the end of Sebastian Berhalter's 63rd-minute free kick for a 1-0 victory at Q2 Stadium. The Americans (2-0-0) clinched a quarterfinal berth and all but secured first place heading into the group finale Sunday against Haiti (0-1-1) in Arlington, Texas. Saudi Arabia, a guest in the regional tournament, is 1-1-0 with Sunday's game remaining against Trinidad and Tobago (0-1-1) in Las Vegas. The United States had a much rougher time Thursday than last weekend, when it thumped Trinidad and Tobago, 5-0, in San Jose. A sloppy, uninspiring first half yielded to a sharper second half before Richards scored his second goal in 27 appearances. Berhalter — son of former U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter in his first national team camp — served a pinpoint free kick from 35 yards into the heart of the box. Onside by inches, Richards stabbed the ball with his left foot on the short hop from eight yards. The Gold Cup is the biennial championship for North and Central America and the Caribbean. So what in the world is Saudi Arabia doing here? Concacaf has a history of inviting guests, and while teams from South America have made sense, the governing body has also welcomed South Korea and South Africa. The previous two tournaments, Qatar participated. Concacaf cites an agreement with the Asian Football Confederation to work together. Inviting Qatar and now Saudi Arabia to the Gold Cup brought along corporate interests as well. Qatar Airways was a major sponsor in 2021 and '23, and this year's tournament backers include the Saudi tourism arm; Riyadh Air; Aramco, the state-owned oil company; and PIF, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund that owns LIV Golf. In Austin, some fans held up green placards with 'Goal' on one side and 'PIF' on the other. The crowd was sparse at kickoff. On a warm weeknight with high ticket prices, an underwhelming U.S. team that had played a friendly here in October and an unfancied opponent, the match was a tough sell — even at a 20,738-seat stadium where Austin FC has sold out 80 consecutive MLS matches. After a pair of World Cup qualifiers, the Saudis arrived at the Gold Cup without several key players who are on assignment with their Riyadh club, Al Hilal, in the FIFA Club World Cup, which is running concurrently at U.S. venues. That group included midfielder Salem Al-Dawsari, who scored in the 2022 World Cup opener against Argentina. Because of absences for a variety of reasons, the U.S. team is far from full strength. With a largely inexperienced roster, Pochettino is evaluating the broader player pool to help determine who will remain in the mix leading to World Cup roster decisions next spring. Pleased with the performance in the opener, Pochettino did not make any lineup changes. That included goalkeeper Matt Freese, who debuted in a June 7 friendly against Turkey and beat out veteran Matt Turner for the Gold Cup opener. 'The opportunity for [Freese] is an opportunity he deserved because he's doing well in his club [New York City FC], and of course, it's to now give some continuity to see how he deals with the pressure to be number one in the national team,' Pochettino said Wednesday. Through 30 minutes, neither team was able to make its mark. The Americans failed to find a rhythm and surrendered possession too easily. The lone highlight was provided by Richards, who rushed back into the box and make a wonderful sliding block on a shot by free-running Abdulrahman Al-Aboud. That was one more threat than the Americans manufactured. Late in the half, they were better keeping the ball but didn't have the ideas or service from the flanks to pierce the penalty area. The pace picked up in the second half. Richards had a golden chance off a corner kick, but his close-range header streaked into goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi's hands. Still, the match begged for someone to do something special in the run of play. Pochettino made his first changes in the 62nd minute, inserting veteran midfielder Tyler Adams and newcomer Damion Downs. On the first action after the substitutions, the goal arrived before an announced crowd of 11,727. The lead held up without any major scares, improving the U.S. record in Gold Cup group play since 1991 to 42-1-5. Notes: Forward Haji Wright, who scored late in the opener, was not in uniform because of a left Achilles' tendon issue, a U.S. team spokesman said. The severity was not immediately disclosed. Goalkeeper Chris Brady and defender Nathan Harriel were noninjury scratches. (The match-day roster is limited to 23 players.) … With a first-place finish, the Americans would play their quarterfinal June 29 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Second place would send them to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on June 28.
